There are many correct combinations of shutter speed and aperture for a particular subject.
Page 138 e_000_kb321.book Page 137 Wednesday, August 27, 2003 12:09 PM Effect of aperture The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) which passes through the lens, controlling how much light strikes the CCD. • Widening the beam by opening the aperture Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be more out of focus.
